Thank you so much to The Boyertown Area Expression for the lovely article highlighting our Mini Golf In the Library Fundraiser we had in April!! We hope to bring it back again next year!

We were able to raise almost $4,000 for the library from this event and we would not be able to do that without the support from our amazing community! From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone who helped make this first time event such a big success!

Boyertown Community Library puts the "fun" in their mini-golf fundraising event.

Our gardening series continues with Penn State Master Gardeners on Monday, June 8th! Join Tina Ehrig and Karlene Brintzenhoff as they demonstrate water-wise gardening, the use of self-watering containers, and choosing drought-tolerant plants, particularly using native plants that don’t require babying.

There will be time for questions and answers after the presentation.
